Earlier, the minister stated in an interview with journalist Stefan Lamb that she is disappointed with the impact of sanctions on the Russian economy, stating that “the logic of democracies does not work in autocracies.” Later, the head of the parliamentary faction of the Green Party, Katrin G\u00f6ring-Eckardt, clarified that Baerbock did not mean disappointment with the policy of sanctions but rather that they did not yield immediate economic effects.<\/p>\n
The publication regarding the minister’s statements prompted an active response from readers in the comments section.<\/p>\n
“Fancy words. Wasn’t it she who, completely ignoring her capabilities and any reasonably realistic foreign policy perspective, wanted to “destroy the Russian economy” and so on? Value-based, not interest-oriented, and also feminist politics – what results are you expecting there?” wrote user Amstein.<\/p>\n
“No, absolutely wrong! Most democrats immediately understood that this was impossible. The statement should be read correctly: “Because the logic of the Greens doesn’t work in real life!” joked Jupp.<\/p>\n
“I would say that “Green” logic doesn’t work, wherever you are in the Universe,” pointed out Stephan B.<\/p>\n
“You could already read in Business Insider that Russia’s economy is growing while Germany’s economy is weakening, partly due to sanctions (the keyword is “energy”). It was clear and logical for anyone who understands economics and globalization!” emphasized Matthias H.<\/p>\n
“She hoped for more?” sarcastically commented \u00c4ndi.<\/p>\n
“It’s notable that Russia managed to bypass the sanctions. But in reality, no German politician could have thought of that. What “logic of democracies” is she referring to?” observed Hildegard G.<\/p>\n
“And now compensation for the damage done to her own population and economy,” suggested kai G.<\/p>\n
“No, Mrs. Baerbock, it was already known back then that sanctions against a country so rich in resources wouldn’t work,” noted Taus Le.<\/p>\n
“Unlike Mrs. B., we didn’t hope for anything. It turned out just as bad as predicted,” added Katrin M.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Previously, the West intensified its sanctions against Russia in connection with the war in Ukraine. President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly pointed out that containment and weakening of the country are long-term strategies of the West and that sanctions have dealt a serious blow to the global economy. Moscow has stated multiple times that the country can handle the pressure of sanctions.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
